Rich Ruffallo Lecture 33
Winners Are
People Like You
Winners take chances.
Like everyone else, they fear failing,
but they refuse to let fear control them.
Winners don't give up.
When life gets rough, they hang in
until the going gets better.
Winners are flexible.
They realize there is more than one way
and are willing to try others.
Winners know they are not perfect.
They respect their weaknesses
while making the most of their strengths.
Winners fall, but they don't stay down.
They stubbornly refuse to let a fall
keep them from climbing . . .
Winners don't blame
fate for their failures
nor luck for their successes.
Winners accept responsibility
for their lives.
Winners are positive thinkers
who see good in all things.
From the ordinary, they make
the extraordinary.
Winners believe in the path they
have chosen
even when it's hard,
even when others can't see
where they are going.
Winners are patient.
They know a goal is only as worthy
as the effort that's required to achieve it.
Winners are people like you.
They make this world a
better place to be.
— Nancye Sims

COUGARS SHOW "KEAN PRIDE"
DURING HOMECOMING VICTORY
Homecoming '94 allowed fans to show their Kean
Pride as the football Cougars defeated Montclair
16-7.
The stands were awash in blue and silver as alumni, stu-
dents, parents, faculty, staff and friends cheered during the
football game.
This win was the first time Kean beat Montclair on its
home field.
Halftime featured a tribute to the late Andy Ford, a former
Kean player who died over the summer. His jersey was re-
tired and presented to his wife and brother. A scholarship
fund has been established at the College in his memory.
Halftime festivities also saw the crowning of the Home-
coming Kings and Queen. The men's soccer team won,
beating Colby-Sawyer 4-0.
In other sports action, the field hockey team beat Rowan
1-0.
Preceding the football game, more than 100 Kean em-
ployees and families showed their Kean Pride by partici-
pating in the Kean College Community Council's first an-
nual tailgate picnic. Hundreds of alumni and students cel-
ebrated with 31 picnics under the Alumni Association's
Kean Pride theme. Three sororities took the top honors in
the tailgate picnic competition: Theta Phi Alpha, Omega
Sigma Psi and Kappa Delta Tau.

98 Football
Capturing the NJAC Champion-
ship for the first time since 1 987,
was the football team. The Cou-
gars shared the conference crown with
Trenton State after the two teams battled
to a 14-14 tie in the final regular season
game. While the Lions season ended
that day, the Cougars went on to win the
team's first-ever postseason champion-
ship with a 41-7 romp over Frostburg
State in the Eastern College Athletic
Conference Tournament.
Kean dominated the postseason
awards with six players named first team
All-NJAC and five All-ECAC Heading
the list is senior captain Jason Di'Tullio
who ended a brilliant career in Union
being named to both the NJAC and
ECAC teams. He was joined on both
teams by defensive back Bruce Pritchett
who established a school-record with a
100-yard interception return in a 15-14
come-from-behind victory over Widen-
er.
Running back Trenell Smith became
the first Kean player to rush for 1 ,000
yards as he finished the season with
1,110 (includes one postseason game)
and was All-NJAC and ECAC. Joining
Smith from the offense was wide receiv-
er Anthony Robinson. The second lead-
ing scorer in the state, Robinson set a
new school-standard for touchdown re-
ceptions with 1 1 (total includes one pos-
tseason game).
Defensive linemen Alfonso Evans and
Colby Winfield were also named first
team all-conference while offensive
lineman Patsy Venetucci was named
All-ECAC.

Coach Renee Clarke was another coach to garner
coach of the year honors as she led the Field
Hockey team to a school record nine wins and
a second place finish in the NJAC.
Carey Kessler was named All-Conference for the third
consecutive season as well as second team All-Region.
Joining Kessler on the All-NJAC team was goaltender
Michele Swawola, who set the school-record for shut-
outs in a season, and defender Allison Schwartz.

The volleyball team won its second consecutive
NJAC Championship and made the school's
first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Although Kean lost badly to Final Four participant Jun-
iata in the NCAA's, it didn't take away from how far
the program has grown under Head Coach Bridget
White.
The NJAC Coach of the Year for the fourth time in
her seven seasons, White has led Kean to three con-
ference championships and a first-ever postseason ap-
pearance in the 1 991 Eastern College Athletic Confer-
ence Tournament to go with this year's NCAA ap-
pearance. Boasting a career record of 145-94, White
has seen a Kean athlete win the conference player of
the year four times.
This year's recipient of that honor was Loretta Zahn.
The junior captured the honor for the second consec-
utive season as she also became just the second Kean
player to earn All-Region honors.
Joining Zahn on the All-Conference first team were
senior captain Kiersten Medvedich along with junior
setter Terri Day. Medvedich recovered from off-season
knee surgery to close out her career with three con-
ference championships in four years.

Ben Bivins did not enter college wrestling quietly. The
most celebrated freshman in the history of the program,
Bivins highlighted his season by becoming the first 1 77-
pound All-American in team history.
That ended a season filled with accomplishments for Bivins.
He boasted a school-record 42 wins against just six losses and
had a school-record 23 match unbeaten streak.
Not to be outdone, Kenya Moncur also had a season filled
with accomplishments. A 1 90-pounder for much of his career,
Moncur moved to heavyweight when Doug Cooper went down
with an injury. He won his first 1 2 matches at heavyweight and
captured his first Metropolitan Championship. He also ad-
vanced to the NCAA's where he finished among the top 16 in
the nation. For the season, Moncur finished 31-9 including a
16-match winning streak.
Among the other top performers were 1 58-pounder John Ran-
ieri and 167-pounder Kirk Frazier who both placed third at
Mets. Ranieri narrowly missed an NCAA berth as he finished
the year with a 25-1 6 record. 1 34-pounder Bob McCafferty (21 -
20) and 1 50-pounder Joe Ribitzki each placed fifth at Mets.

rhe softball team could also be looking forward to the ECAC
Tournament. The Cougars currently boast a 16-15 overall rec-
ord.
When this season ends so will the career of one of the greatest
ayers to ever put on a Kean uniform. Tracy Burkhart has already set
ur school career records this season and could break up to three
ore before the year is done.
Kean's all-time leader in hits, doubles, RBIs and single-season lead-
in stolen bases, game-winning hits and fewest strikeouts, Burkhart
s been an All-Region selection the last three years.
Also finishing up her career will be first-baseman Terri Day. In her
reer, Day played all of the outfield position, second-base and then
Dved to first-base this season. She broke a finger in Florida but hasn't
issed a beat since returning. She is third on the team in batting with
356 average to go with 10 doubles and 19 RBIs.
The team's third senior is also the Cougars inspirational leader.
Charlene Noto has spent four seasons behind the plate grooming the
always young pitching staff. She is also a solid hitter and, when not
catching or up at bat, she is the one who is always leading the cheers.
The future looks bright for the squad with junior Liana LaVecchia
back next season. She leads the team in batting with a .433 average
and 35 RBIs. An All-Region selection at third base last season, La-
Vecchia broke the school-record for batting average at .458.
Also having outstanding seasons are All-Region second baseman
Chris Fanelli and leftfielder Ann Marie Schwarz.
The pitching staff is anchored by sophomore Lauren Ravettine and
freshman Andrea Clark, Ravettine boasts an 11-10 record, a 2.46 era
and a team-high 73 strikeouts while Clark is 7-4 with a 3.52 era and
41 strikeouts.

Tony Calandra of Clark, who led the
nation in scoring, was named most
valuable player of the Eastern Col-
lege Athletic Conference Tournament and
now has been named Knickerbocker Con-
ference Player of the Year.
Calandra wasn't the only top recipient for
the Cougars as first-year Head Coach Jim
Davidson copped the Coach of the Year
award.
Calandra had 79 goals and 40 assists for
199 points as he led the Cougars to the
school's first ECAC championship since
1991. The senior attackman surpassed nu-
merous milestones, including his 300th ca-
reer point, 200th career goal, and 1 00th ca-
reer assist. Calandra will graduate second
on the school's all-time list for career goals
(213), assists (109), and points (322).
Davidson, the former head coach at Up-
sala, guided the Cougars to the ECAC
Championship in his first season in Union
by successfully combining a mixture of Up-
sala and Kean players. He brought in 10
transfers from his old school and they trans-
formed Kean from a 7-6 team last year to a
1 2-2 championship team this season.
Joining Calandra on the first team All-
Conference for the Cougars were Nick
Medvedich, another Clark resident, Mark
Petrone, and Timothy Fischer.
Medvedich is making his fourth straight
appearance on the first team. The senior at-
tackman leaves as Kean's all-time leader in
goals (217), assists (175), and points (392).
He was second in the conference with 45
goals and 40 assists for 85 points.
Petrone was the top faceoff man in the
conference winning over 62 percent on the
season. The sophomore midfielder, who
transferred from Gettysburg, was also fourth
on the team in scoring with 23 goals and 1 4
assists for 37 points.
An Academic All-American candidate,
Fischer was the top defenseman on a unit
which limited seven of Kean's opponents to
under 10 goals.
The second team is also filled with Kean
players as attackman. Jeff Murray, R.J.
DeStefano, Brad Rumsey, Chad Jeffrey, and
Bill Dransfield all were selected.
Murray, the team captain, finished third
in the conference in scoring with 42 goals
and 34 assists for 76 points. The senior
transfer from Upsala ends his career with an
incredible 267 points.
DeStefano was a huge spark from the
midfield. The junior transfer from Upsala
was fifth on the team in scoring with 24
goals, seven assists, and 31 points.
Dransfield is another Upsala transfer who
ended his career in Union. The Conference
Player of the Week last week, the senior
goaltender boasted an 1 1 -2 record and .632
save percentage.
Ramsey was the third part of the Ridley
connection. The Upsala transfer was one of
the top defenders in the conference while
Jeffrey is the best long-stick midfielder to put
on a Kean uniform since Conference Player
of the Year Gerry Benaquista of Westfield
in 1992.

Zahn, DiTullio Named
Regional Academic
Ail-Americans
F
or two consecutive weeks, Kean College has had athletes
named GTE District II Academic All-Americans. Just one week
after football linebacker Jason DiTullio won the award, volley-
ball superstar Loretta Zahn has accomplished the feat.
District II comprises all NCAA Division II and III along with
NAIA Division II colleges from New Jersey, Delaware, Mary-
land, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
Zahn, who was a third team Academic Ail-American last year,
and DiTullio now advance to the national ballot which an-
nounces its selections on December 20 and December 13, re-
spectively.
Zahn, who was one of two players to repeat on the eight
person team, led Kean to its second consecutive New Jersey
Athletic Conference crown and a first-ever berth in the NCAA
Tournament. The two-time NJAC Player of the Year, Zahn led
Kean to a 23-1 1 record.
This season, the junior middle blocker became just the sec-
ond player in school history to be named to the American Vol-
leyball Coaches Association Mid-Atlantic Region team.
A Special Education major, Zahn boasts a 3.94 GPA as she
was named Academic All-Conference last season. She has been
on the Dean's List every semester and is a member of Athletes
in Action and the Athletic Department Student Advisory Coun-
cil.
A three-time first team All-NJAC selection, Zahn was second
in the conference in hitting efficiency (.314) and kills (355). An
Academic All-Conference selection, she was also among the top
10 in the conference in aces (66), blocks (60) and digs (207).
A preseason Academic Ail-American by College Football Pr-
eview, DiTullio helped lead Kean to a 7-2-1 * (three games were
later forfeited) record including the Eastern College Athletic
Conference Southwest Championship and co-championship of
the New Jersey Athletic Conference.
A first team All-NJAC selection, DiTullio boasts a 3.59 GPA
in pre-physical therapy. He was third on the team in tackles this
season despite missing 2.5 games due to a knee injury. The two-
time captain had 66 tackles including 10 for losses. DiTullio,
who has 21 7 career tackles, was the leader of the top defense
in the NJAC.
An Academic All-Conference selection, DiTullio has been a
second team All-NJAC selection the past two seasons. He has
been on the Dean's List every semester and was the recipient
of the James Caldwell Annual Gridiron Scholarship.
Scholar Athlete Winners Jason DiTullio and Loretta Zahn with Athletic Director Glenn Hedden.

A year in Review!
RIGHT: 0.\. Simpson, one of the greatest athletes in
the United States, became the most publicized star
in one of the biggest double murder trials in the his-
tory of the U.S. judicial system. He is currently on
trial for the murder of his ex wife Nicole Brown
Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. BELOW
RIGHT: It was a match made in tabloid heaven: The
child of one of the two biggest stars in rock history
married the other biggest star in rock history. Lisa
Marie Presley, Elvis's only child, got hitched to the
reclusive Michael Jackson. BELOW: The 68th Miss
America was 21 year-old Heather Whitestone, a
deaf woman from Alabama, who became the first
contestant with a disability to win the Pageant.
TOP LEFT: Andre Agassi was one of the best known en-
trants in the 1994 U.S. Open, but a year of largely in-
different tennis had left him unseeded and unheralded.
Racing through six opponents, four of them seeded,
Agassi won in straight sets over #4 seed Michael Stich
of Germany. ABOVE: The United States went to the
brink of invading Haiti, its poor, unsettled neighbor to
the south. But at the last minute Haiti's military rulers
bowed to the United Nations and promised to cede
power to the duly elected president whom they had
ousted, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. LEFT: Brazil's offense
got all the attention beforehand, but its defense wound
up stopping Italy and won the World Cup, soccer's ul-
timate prize. Diving to his left, Brazilian goalkeeper
Claudio Taffarel knocked out Daniele Massaro's shot in
the peanlty kick tiebreaker to set the stage for Brazil's
victory.

RIGHT: They headed north on almost anything that would float, including rafts made
of the flimsiest materials: oil drums, innertubes, wooden planks. They were Cuba's
boat people . . . tens of thousands of people desperate to come to the United States
to escape the poverty and hunger of their increasingly isolated island Communist
nation. BELOW: Before the year was over another 500,000 Rwandans had been
killed and another 2 million had fled the African nation for the relative safety of
squalid refugee camps in Zaire and other neighboring countries. BOTTOM: Frank
Corder suffered from depression, had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and
probably was suicidal. But nothing may ever explain for sure why the Maryland
trucker stole a small plane near Baltimore and crashed it into the White House lawn
shortly before 2AM on September 15, 1994.
170 A Year in Review
LEFT: The 1994 baseball season ended not with a home run or a strikeout, but with
a conference call and a fax. On the 34th day of the major league players strike, the
team owners canceled the rest of the season, including the playoffs and the World
Series. BELOW: The Civil War in Bosnia began in 1992 when Bosnia's Serbian mi-
nority rebelled against a decision by Yugoslavia's Muslims and Croats to secede.
BOTTOM LEFT: The nation's 108th Supreme Court Justice, Stephen C. Breyer, was
sworn into office in the East Room of the White House. BELOW RIGHT: Despite
the exhortations of President Clinton and the First Lady, the year ended without
significant health insurance reform.

SPECIAL EDITION
Dr. Henry J. Ross has been named Interim President of Kean College of New Jersey by
the College's Board of Trustees.
Dr. Ross, Director of Institutional Research and Special Assistant to the President for
Economic Development at Kean, also serves as President of the Union County Alliance. He has
been at Kean College since 1970, beginning as a faculty member in the Political Science
Department. Dr. Ross has held a variety of administrative positions during his tenure.
Dr. Ross also coordinated, under former President Nathan Weiss, the Excellence and
Equity Challenge Grant that helped the College to build a national reputation in assessment and
other areas.
"Kean College can achieve its destiny which is to be a college of opportunity with
standards of excellence and which provides real leadership in the region.
I have dedicated myself to Kean College for 25 years and I care deeply about this
institution. The College has enormous potential for growth based on its faculty, its students, and
its programs.
I intend to emphasize academics as the center of the College's agenda and have the
College participate as a lull partner in efforts to improve the economic well being and quality
of life in our region," Dr. Ross said.
The Board of Trustees said all three candidates were well qualified. Dr. Ross will fill the
need for academic experience, administrative ability and widespread community and political
experience. He can be an advocate for the College and represent it with distinction while the
search for a President is conducted.

Dr. Elsa Gomez to
n Presidency
Dr. Elsa Gomez
President Elsa Gomez announced that she
will be resigning the Presidency of Kean
College of New Jersey, effective no later
than June 30, 1995.
"I believe this early announcement will enable
the Board of Trustees to conduct a Presidential
search while I continue to manage the daily op-
erations of the College" she said.
Larry Lockhart, Chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees, said the Board accepted the President's res-
ignation with regret. "The Board has been pleased
with the progress the College has made under the
leadership of President Gomez. The President and
the Trustees are aware of the many changes in
higher education in New Jersey during the com-
ing year and agree that this is an opportune time
for a change in campus leadership."
In a letter to the campus, President Gomez said
that she feels a great sense of accomplishment
and satisfaction as she begins her sixth year as
President. She cited progress in academic affairs,
enrollment management and facilities planning as
part of those accomplishments.
She became President of Kean College in 1 989.
Previously, she had been Dean of Arts and Sci-
ences at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania,
and Director of Academic Programs at the Mas-
sachusetts Board of Regents of Higher Education,
and a faculty member and Department Chair at
the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez.
Dr. Gomez will take a year's sabbatical after
the Trustees select a successor and will return to
the College as a Professor in the Department of
Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures.

RECESSIONAL
174 Commencement
Graduates Celebrate the End,
and the Beginning
ark skies and a slight, rainy mist failed to
dampen the spirits of Kean College's largest grad-
uating class during Commencement exercises in
May.
The College conferred degrees on approxi-
mately 1,657 undergraduates and 363 graduate
students during its 140th Commencement.
Kean College President Elsa Gomez, in her
opening remarks, proudly extolled the virtues of
Kean's state-of-the-art Col lege Center and the ren-
ovation of the library, adding Kean "is a vibrant
achieving College community" she has been
proud to serve as president.
Keynote speaker Malcolm S. Forbes Jr., who re-
ceived an honorary degree, addressed this year's
graduates. He declared two trends will signifi-
cantly alter the way they live and work in the
coming years.
"You are entering a very positive age," Mr. For-
bes said. "In a sense, we are in the Model T era
of the microchip age." The development of the
information age, he added, is "mind-boggling."
Mr. Forbes, the Chief Executive Officer of For-
bes Inc. and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes magazine,
maintained the information age will emphasize
individualism and reward creativity, adding "the
real capital of the country lies in human imagi-
nation."
In his remarks to an audience of almost 1 0,000,
the communications magnate rejected the view
that only those highly skilled in computers will
thrive. "The microchip age will make us all
smarter," he said. "You're going to be the bene-
ficiaries of it."
The second trend, according to Mr. Forbes, is
the close of the Cold War and its "transforming
effect" on political discourse, particularly on re-
form movements. "For the first time in 80 years,
we don't have an external threat," he said.
In his address to the Class of 1 995, Mr. Forbes'
comments were punctuated with humor, humility
and down-to-earth wisdom.
He offered graduates several bits of what he
called useless advice: be prepared for several job
and career changes during their lives; be prepared
for serendipity; and be patient if their careers do
not take off immediately, "but not too patient."
Kean also offered honorary degrees to Cissy
Houston, international pop and gospel singer,
and Abraham Zuckerman and Murray Pantirer,
representing Holocaust survivors on the 50th an-
niversary of the liberation of the concentration
camps.
Ms. Houston was recognized for her accom-
plishments as a vocal arranger, teacher, actress
and civic leader. In a career spanning almost 40
years, she has more than 600 recordings to her
credit. A Grammy nominee, Ms. Houston is also
the recipient of gold and platinum records for vo-
cal performances with several leading musical
artists. She was also cited for her many contribu-
tions to charitable and civic organizations.
Mr. Pantirer and Mr. Zuckerman, both of whom
were Holocaust survivors saved by Oskar Schin-
dler, received honorary degrees for their selfless
contributions on behalf of Holocaust education
and their humanitarian efforts.
Student speakers included Charlotte Risberg of
the Council for Part-Time Students who noted
"Kean cares about the needs of the part-time stu-
dents, and it shows."
Felice Vazquez of Student Organization deliv-
ered the Senior Moment. She noted her genera-
tion has been labeled "Generation X," the un-
known generation that doesn't stand for anything
and is unprepared for a bleak future. Ms. Vazquez
rejected that scenario. She urged her classmates
to accept the Generation X term but to force eve-
ryone to redefine it — as "Generation Excel."
"One person can make a difference, if that one
person is prepared to make a difference," she
said.
In the ceremony's closing remarks, Jemal Be-
ale, representing the Graduate Student Council,
compared college degrees to credit cards, stating
graduates have made their own personal contract
with America. "Our outstanding debt is equiva-
lent to the national deficit ... it is possible for
each of us to repay what we owe." He challenged
the Class of 1995 to become productive alumni
who give back to their communities.
